The chief of staff frowned and thought, shaking his head and saying, “No, this is too risky.”It is good that our strength is an advantage, but the little Japanese weapons and equipment are stronger than ours, and they have a solid fortification, on the defensive side, and they are ready to work.In contrast, our army, not only the equipment is rudimentary, but also after a series of operations, has long been a tired division, comprehensive considerations, our army does not occupy the advantage, really can not defeat so many Japanese troops, so I still advocate the concentration of troops to open a gap, as soon as possible out.

Commander Lu looked down at the map for a long silence and suddenly asked, “If you follow the previous strategy, can you successfully break out?”Liu Hong is right, the mobility of the little Japanese is strong, no matter which direction we attack, the little Japanese can come to the reinforcement in time.Even if we could open a gap, wouldn’t we be hit by both sides of the Japanese?Don't forget that the little Japanese are still increasing their troops from both north and south, so it seems that no matter where we open a gap, the troops will be attacked by the two sides of the Japanese when they break out.In this case, there is not much difference between breaking through from the central or from both sides, and if the central breakthrough is taken by the concentrated superior forces, it may be possible to open a gap.

The chief of staff frowned and said, “The commander thinks twice!In the current situation of our army, it is really not appropriate to fight hard with the little devil!"

Commander Lu showed a sneer in the corner of his mouth, and said with a serious face: "If we can't successfully break through the Pinghan Railway, we are a dead end, and on this occasion of life and death, we can only break the boat and fight back!"Since the beginning of the big sweep, we and the little devils have been fighting for more than January, always in a situation of passive beating, by the little Japanese from the county all the way to the new music, since the establishment of the Jizhong military district, we have never been so clied, is this bird breath not enough?This is our last battle in the Middle Kingdom, and if we don't fight vigorously, how can we afford the six million fellow fathers in the Middle East."

Regardless of the success or failure of this war, it is the last battle in the Jiezhong region, if it is defeated, it does not need to be said, the main force of the Jizhong Military Region is defeated, and it is inevitable that it will be destroyed by the Japanese.Even if the victory is won, according to the order of the headquarters, the main force of the Jizhong Military Region temporarily retreats to the Jincha-Ji border area, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to the Jizhong area for a while and a half.

All the people present were silent, and the expression of Commander Lu gradually became firm, and then a serious face ordered: "At once, the order went on, concentrated 10,000 troops at the same time to attack the north and south of Pengjiazhuang and Zhoucun Town, informed the frontline troops that this is not a feud, but a forcible attack, to break through the Japanese resistance at all costs, and play the prestige of our Eighth Route Army."In addition, ten thousand elite units are placed in the central area, ready to launch an attack, the remaining troops as a reserve, ready to support the front line, immediately formulate detailed operational orders, and the battle must begin in an hour's time.”

“Yes!”The chief of staff responded, then gathered the combat staff officers together, in accordance with the instructions of Commander Lu, formulated specific combat tasks, and immediately issued the combat units.

Then Commander Lu went to Liu Hong, a serious face said: "Liu Hong, your vanguard is arranged in the central area, until the general attack is launched, immediately to assist the friendly army to launch an attack, I order your vanguard, like a sharp knife, quickly from the Japanese defense line to tear a mouth to help the main forces completely defeat the enemy in front of the enemy."

"Yes!I promise to complete the task!”Liu Hong stood up and saluted a standard military salute.

Commander Lu raised his hand back to a military salute, nodded with satisfaction and said, “Go!I'm ready to celebrate, and when we win this battle, let's have a good drink together."

“Yes!”Liu Hong responded again and turned around and left the temporary headquarters.

In the afternoon of the same day, according to the order of Commander Lu, the Eighth Route Army concentrated its superior forces and launched a fierce attack on Pengjiazhuang and Zhoucun Town respectively.For a time, the guns were firing, the smoke was full, and the fighting was extremely intense.

The stronghold of the Beijing Village was originally just a small stronghold along the Pinghan Railway, and there were hundreds of such strongholds on the long Pinghan railway line, but due to the arrival of a person, this position was not ordinary, and this person was the commander of the 133rd Brigade of the Japanese 110th Division.

The reason why Sato is based in the north camp village, is that this place is located between Pengjiazhuang and Zhoucun town, and only a dozen miles away from the two places, where Sato can more easily and quickly understand the situation of the two lines, more convenient for him to command the troops to fight.

The largest barracks in the stronghold had been packed up as Sato's command post, and the old japanese was frowning at the huge map hanging on the wall.

At this time, a Japanese officer walked quickly and said respectfully: "Report to your excellency, Pengjiazhuang is in a hurry."

Sato frowned slightly, turned slowly around and said solemnly: "Tell them to hold their positions at all costs, and the reinforcements will be here soon."

“Hay!”The Japanese officer answered and turned and hurried away.

Sato thought about it and said, "The Eighth Route Army attacks from two directions at the same time, and one of them must be a feud."

“Hay!Your excellency, but the war on both sides is very tense, and it is not yet possible to judge which direction is a tave.”Then a Japanese man spoke.

"This is the cunning of the eighth road."Sato nodded and said, "But they think that this way can defeat the imperial army, it is wishful thinking, since they attack two directions at the same time, then we take both directions as the focus of defense."In any case, the mobility of the imperial army can easily travel between the two.”

“Hay!Your excellency.The Japanese man said quickly.

Sato glanced at the Japanese officers in the house, and finally fell on a Japanese Major General, and loudly said, "Ito."

“Hay!”Major General Ito took a step forward and responded loudly.

"Pengjiazhuang's front line defense is weak, and you immediately lead your brigade to quickly support Pengjiazhuang's front line."Sato's serious command.

“Hay!”Ito responded respectfully, turned and walked away quickly.

Then Sato's eyes fell on another Japanese Major Su, smiling and saying, "Black Saki, your brigade is the killer of the imperial army, and now it is your turn to take a good lesson to these damned dirt roads."
